I would probably assume he is just asking for us to hang as friends. It seems a bit arrogant to assume you are someones love interest if said person just asked for your number.
I wouldn't quite call it arrogant. Looking at it rationally, if a guy goes up and talks to a girl like I did, he probably either has some interest in her, whether sexually or as a friend.
I think I'd rather she mistakenly think I like her when I don't than mistakenly think I don't like her when I do.
Honestly? A. From my experience, asking my phone number is just one way of guys to ask me for a date but they are shy or just want to get to know me in a proper way (before checking me out).
It just depends on the situation and how he asks it, but for the most part I would assume he was asking me out. That assumption is based off of personal experience, some girls may be more naive however.
If he is just being nice and not flirty then I'd assume he probably wants to be friends... I am totally clueless when it comes to guys, even if he's literally asking me out for a date I would convince myself that he's only being nice...
He is never JUST looking for a friend. I'd rather he cut the bullshit though and man up and actually say "I want to take you out" instead of the "you should come over & watch a movie" bullshit
Definitely if a guy asked me for my number or to hang out I would take it as a date, unless we have been talking or something and be both know of each others significant others. If one of us knew that the other was In a relationship than I would think that they wanted to just hang out as friends
If a guy asks to hang out and my number, I'm torn between either him asking me out on a date, or him trying to act sly and trying to hit it. Unfortunately, that's what happens most of the time.
I've been that girl a few times. I'm married but see nothing wrong with having male friends. Unfortunately a couple of guys who I genuinely thought wanted to be friends assumed that hanging out meant dating them. I would never intentionally lead a guy on but it seems sometimes neither is sure what the other wants.
I asked my crush to hang out cause it was over text and I had like no way of seeing her in person soon enough. But I have no idea what she assumed it was, because I've known her for months.
It depends, I would absolutely think he is just looking for a friend. If we were to hang out and I would just realize he is flirting with me, I would think he just wanting to go on a date with me. But if he talks casual and seems friendly and all, he is just looking for a friend. Like what 'vmw2008' said, It would depend on the scenario.
I'd feel unsure, but assume he's looking for a friend, because I am totally clueless when people are interested in me, and I can always convince myself they're not.
If a guy asked for my number or to hang out, without specifying or implying a professional situation, I would assume he was interested in a relationship.
I get a thumbs down for this? Why? The guy didn't say it was a date. All he said was "How about going out with me?" He did not specifically state "Date" I "go out" with my friends all the time, doesn't mean I'm dating them all.
I'd be sure that he has romantic interest in me to a certain level. I'd never assume he purely wants to be friends. It might be cocky to assume that every guy who asks for your number wants a date, but in 95% of the cases that is what's happening.

or naive
@cheesesteak Yes, maybe that too. People who know me sometimes call me naive.
I agree

I would wonder what he was up to. Probably ask. You never want to lead someone on. If it's innocent then it's ok. I never try to assume either way.

I picked D.
I would think he's looking for a hook up. But i am admittedly a bitch and assume any guy who talks to me wants to fuck and nothing else.
Its an personal insecurity type issue I'm getting over slowly. But yea
Well, it's true that some guys do just want hookups.
I've learned more now, so I'm not as likely to come off as someone looking only for that.
Nice username!
Thanks

I'm not to keen or receptive to giving my digits away as o easily.. But I guess there is first time for
Anything. Ughh my fat fingers.
Is there (roughly) an amount of time a guy would have to be around you before you gave out a number?
I think at min. 2wks..
If a guy asked for my number or to hang out, without specifying or implying a professional situation, I would assume he was interested in a relationship.
Well, can understand why you became confused. Full name and phone number? That is a tad forward.
Yeah, I didn't even ask for her number or full name before she gave them.
She also seemed really excited afterwards, saying something with a big smile to a coworker in the back area of the cafe.
In that case, I would definitely have assumed that she thought it was a date.
I would think he's just being nice.
My co-worker asked me out once, never did go out.
But I assumed he just was trying to be nice.

The downvote isn't from me. I only want honest advice.

I would assume nothing, unless they're face somehow was lit up. But assume is default reaction. I'm not very good at reading faces anyways.
I wouldn't know... I'd start to worder why he asked me in the first place instead of assuming things. I'll act/treat him as I normally do though.
